His landmark recording project "pale Rider, "the Emory Lester Set", and "Cruisin the 8" have placed him among the elite mandolinists of our time.

I truly believe that Adrian and his Northfield team are revolutionizing the process of constructing a great mandolin, and the Northfield line is set to be a major player in the mandolin world for a long time to come.
